To beat Floyd, you have to pressre him and trap him on the ropes, effectively cut the ring off, and don't let him get off, and it helps to be bigger than him.
The reason Manny won't beat him is because he can't cut the ring and isn't bigger then Floyd, he won't be able to muscle him like Castillo did in the 2nd half of their fight.

Here's my RbR (did it for CBZ). Feel free to disagree. Wouldn't be the first time:
Round One
Good feeling out round...Mayweather blocking well and landing some good jabs...Cotto had some answers late and came at the body...Mayweather with some swift counters.
Mayweather 10-9
Round Two
One of the better action rounds of Mayweather's career...Maywweather fought largely off the ropes..won the first half of the round and they contested hot down the stretch...Cotto landed some nice hooks...Mayweather cleaner.
Mayweather 20-18
Round Three
Cotto had a solid frame, counter jabbing and landing some nice body shots...Mayweather countered well early but was outboxed in spots down the stretch.
Mayweather 29-28
Round Four
Early on, a clinic of Mayweather right hands...Cotto landed some nice stuff to the body in the last thirty seconds, but not enough to steal the frame.
Mayweather 39-37
Round Five
Really good, hard round...Cotto on top of Mayweather for long stretches...blocking better than in previous rounds, but still getting touched...caught Mayweather to the head and body well...May closed strong...Cotto round.
Mayweather 48-47
Round Six
Less eventful round...Cotto went boxer after landing some heavy body shots...Floyd' bloodied up on the nose...maybe Cotto's clearest round so far...all even.
57-57
Round Seven
Cotto went back to pressing and had some luck taking the right hand away for stretches...Mayweather won with nice combo punching in the second half.
Mayweather 67-66
Round Eight
Awesome round...Mayweather tatooing him off the ropes early...Cotto came on and worked him to the body...rough round and Cotto's.
Even 76-76
Round Nine
Mayweather holding more this round...Cotto controlled much of the round but Floyd had a strong late rally...Not enough to swing it.
Cotto 86-85
Round Ten
Bit of a rally round for Mayweather...Cotto still did good body work, but Mayweather found the target well and did the better work over 3 minutes.
Even 95-95
Round Eleven
Another solid frame...Cotto had moments but Mayweather was a step ahead with a strong, clean punching finish.
Floyd 105-104
Round Twelve
Floyd had a masterful final round...had Cotto ready to go but Miguel held to finish...best battle of Floyd's career.
Floyd 115-113
Official scores: 117-111 twice, 118-110 for Mayweather
